UNI 80x120 HDD Rig – Extreme Power for Large-Scale Drilling Projects

The UNI 80x120 is a heavy-duty horizontal directional drilling rig engineered for large-scale infrastructure projects and challenging ground conditions. With up to 80,000 lbs of thrust and pullback and 12,000 ft-lb of rotary torque, it delivers consistent performance for long bores and demanding applications.

The advanced control system features cruise control with preset maximum thrust and torque limits, ensuring stable operation while protecting key components. A high-capacity mud system supports efficient borehole cleaning, reduces tool wear, and improves overall drilling performance.

An optional semi-automatic rod loading system minimizes manual handling and increases jobsite efficiency, while the integrated rod lubrication system extends tool life. The reinforced anchoring system and breakout system with pressure relief enhance operational safety and reliability.
